About us
Our Cookridge clinic is based in LS16 in North Leeds, not far from Leeds Bradford Airport. We would consider this our main practice as we are able to offer our full range of both consultation and surgical services from this site, as well as comprehensive in-patient care when required. The site has been in operation as a veterinary practice since 1970.
Our Greengates clinic is based in BD10 on the North East outskirts of Bradford. Our practice here opened in 2008 on the New Line commercial estate, which allowed us to offer good parking and disabled access facilities for our clinic. Whilst smaller than our main site at Cookridge, we are able to offer the same consultation and surgical facilities, just on a smaller scale.
In addition to a competitive salary, you will benefit from:
* 6.6 Weeks annual leave
* Additional annual leave for your birthday which will be added to your holiday allowance
* Enhanced family-friendly policies, including maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental and surrogacy pay
* Cycle to work scheme
* Initiatives focused on employee wellbeing
